Turning research artifacts into actionable PM insight. Customer interviews, user research notes, support ticket reviews, sales call transcripts, survey data, in-app feedback, all synthesized into the decisions they are meant to inform. The discipline of moving from raw discovery data to clear product direction without losing signal in the synthesis or fabricating insight that was not actually there. Triggers on research synthesis, customer interview synthesis, user research analysis, discovery…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Discovery Research Synthesis

A senior PM's playbook for turning research artifacts into decisions. Customer interviews, user research notes, support ticket reviews, sales call transcripts, survey data, in-app feedback, all synthesized into the product direction they are meant to inform.

Most discovery research never produces decisions. The team conducts interviews; the transcripts pile up; a researcher hands product the raw artifacts (data-dump) or builds a polished readout deck (insight-theater); the deck gets a 30-minute review meeting and is never referenced again. Two months later the team is making the same product decisions that the research was supposed to inform, with the same gut-feel inputs the research was supposed to displace.

The discipline is in the synthesis. Synthesis is where research earns its keep: where transcripts become tagged observations, observations cluster into patterns, patterns get named, named patterns surface product implications, and implications drive specific decisions. Without that sequence, research is performance art.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rampstackco/claude-skills-pm/discovery-research-synthesis@sha256:9b8117216f510e16

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260519.62f33d9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
